A single kidney if normal, is enough to have a full normal life. Most often it follows disappearance of a multicystic dysplastic kidney. Sometimes the missing kidney can be found by DMSA scan to be present and functional in an abnormal location. Children in whom one kidney did not form at all may have a smaller bladder and or genital abnormalities needing treatment.
